UK soft services provider Churchill Group have signed the Neurodiversity in Business Charter committing to comprehensive workplace inclusion of neurodiverse employees.
The charter is an initiative from Neurodiversity in Business (NiB), an industry forum led by Dan Harris, which draws on the experiences of interdisciplinary professionals and leading companies to share best practices, and improve the employment and experience of neurodiverse workers.
It is important to us that our colleagues feel they can bring their whole self to work and flourish.
Melanie Taylor, HR Director at Churchill, says: “Across Churchill’s group of specialist businesses we believe in always do right, always seek better and always put people first. It is important to us that our colleagues feel they can bring their whole self to work and flourish.
“As we work closely with our partners and clients, we continue to grow our truly inclusive culture and workforce. Our partnership to NiB demonstrates the commitment to our colleagues, the communities in which we work and creating opportunities to thrive. NiB has various big names as a part of their founding members, including some mutual clients with Churchill. Working alongside our clients this way and demonstrating our shared values is extremely important to us.
Group guest services business, On Verve, is supporting neurodiversity by offering practical aides to employees, including screen masking software that reduces distractions and eye strain.
NiB CEO Harris, says: “We are delighted that the Churchill Group has become a founding member of NiB. It signals their commitment to ensuring a truly inclusive workplace and a desire to strive for the best in diversity and inclusion standards.
“We look forward to working with Churchill Group and all our members in delivering meaningful change for the neurodivergent across business.”
